    AirPort Extreme with Stock Antenna in Late Model Power Mac G5

    I installed an AirPort Extreme card in my Late 2005 (Dual Core) PowerMac G5 and managed to retain the original antenna. The AirPort Extreme cards are much easier to find and are typically far less expensive than the stock Bluetooth/WiFi combo cards that shipped as an option in these machines. If...

    How can I set up this old router?

    (Moderators feel free to move this thread, I didn’t know where to put it) Here’s the deal: I don’t have an AirPort card for my G5. Now, the logical thing to do is to buy a used one from eBay but I don’t want to spend money. I have a few Ethernet cables, an old Apple airport router from early...

    Quad G5 thermal Calibration

    Hi, I am lucky enough to have a good working G5 quad with the latest rev. water cooler. It appears to be working perfectly, passing all the tests in ASD 2.6.3 and I've not had a single crash or frozen system while running Sorbet Leopard 1.5. When running benchmarks CPU A peaks at around 65C and...

    Burn failed

    Hi, I have got a Power Mac G5 running Mac OS X 10.5.8 and I have upgraded the original Pioneer optical drive to an NEC one that supports dual-layer DVDs. I'm trying to make a bootable Mac OS x 10.5 DVD and I'm using Verbatim 8x dual-layer DVDs and the disk utility says burn failed! I have rad...

    At last, a use-case which has nudged me into wanting a wider (or more) display(s)

    I’ve no idea whether this was running on a 10.5.8 or 10.6.8 setup (I’m leaning toward 10.6.8 for no better reason than when this clip was posted and how Dropbox is still showing as working), but it looks like Pro Tools 8. What I know is: to be able to view the imported multi-track breakdown of...

    Hi, I need help with my Power Mac G5! I tried to make a bootable USB for Leopard but when I go into the boot selector, the drive doesn't come up, when I try to launch the installer from Mac OS X, it just reboots into the OS, and when I try to boot into it from open firmware, it just shows the...

    Hello, I just got a Power Mac G5 Dual(Late 2005) 2.0, and when I got it, everything seems to be Ok. But now, there is something wrong with the built-in speaker: No startup sound. I can not change the volume of it, but only keep it at the highest level. The changing spot is gray. When I first...

    3 G5s on Craigslist - How hard are they to fix?

    Hi! I've never owned a Power Mac G5. I have some limited hardware repair experience on other tower Macs, but nothing drastic (I haven't replaced a power supply, for example). I came across this ad on Craigslist today. I was wondering if any of these 3 G5s are worth picking up to get 1 for...

    Will this USB 2.0 pcie card works on late 05 PMG5 Quad?

    Hi so I want more USB port instead the 4 usb port on the late 2005 Power Mac G5 Quad so I find this: Will it works on Leopard? The seller said it works on the 2006 to the 2012 Mac pro's. It USB 2.0 not 3.0.

    The Power Mac G5 can’t be eclipsed by a live solar eclipse at 720p :D

    But in 1080p, things slow to about 1fps. And that’s probably in large part to the paltry OEM GeForce 5200 video card. But hey, this is cool!

    I got a Power Mac G5 for free but it won’t start up

    As the title, I got it for free. I am cleaning up the classroom since it is the end of the school year and I see a Power MAC G5 sitting in the corner. My teacher let me get it home for free. It was the dual 1.8 version. It got everything, but when I press on the start button, it kind of start...

    AcBel 600 Watt compatible with PowerMac G5?

    In my previous post some people said that I should change the PSU from my PowerMac G5. My question: Is the AcBel 600 Watt PSU compatible with it? I am new to PowerMacs #12 My serial number is CK422H6MR5J . I looked it up on everymac.com and it says A1047 (EMC 1969) is my model name.

    Resolved G5 PCI-X (or PCI) compatibility with the Sun ASY-90145 1394/USB2.0 card?

    So there are a mess of used, PCI combo FW1394a/USB2.0 cards being sold all over which were for Sun servers (I'm guessing SPARC) during the early/mid-’00s — the ASY-90145 (375-3140-05). Try as I may, I cannot locate original tech specs for this card, so I lack knowledge of whether this was PCI...

    Using 2010 iMac or LED Cinema Display as a Display for Power Mac G5 or 2006-08 Intel Mac

    Many of you probably know that the 2010 iMac supports a feature called Target Display Mode, and it needs Mini DisplayPort to work. No PowerPC Mac ever shipped with Mini DisplayPort as they all predate it, so that would make the feature incompatible, right? Wrong. As it turns out, there are...

    Power-Mac G5 not booting?

    I just recently bought a G5 Power-mac for a dollar, and nothing works. It powers up, and then the fans continually ramp up.

    So, here we go some time ago I commented on a video 'The iBook Guy' AKA 'The 8-Bit Guy' made titled 'PowerMac G5 - Is it Obsolete?' whereby I say "The PowerMac G5 quad is more powerful than the Mac Mini." and in his video he states that the Mac Mini Orignal is more powerful than the Power Mac G5...
